MTA RE Proposed Manhattan West Side Route MTA RE Proposed Manhattan West Side Route Manhattan Community Board 4 (CB4) applauds the MTA for creating a new proposed Bus route on the far west side of Manhattan from 59th Street to Spring Street (herein referred to as M12). CB4 has long Been on record for asking for such a route in order to service the thousands of new residents that have settled there since the 2005 Hudson Yards and West Chelsea rezoning. We understand that the service could start as early as the fourth quarter 2013 and appreciate the opportunity to comment on the new route. • After review of the preliminary plan, we are asking the MTA to address a few issues and to take in consideration the board’s suggestions. We request that the MTA return to CB4 to present their final plan Before it gets implemented. Between 59th and 24th Streets the M12 would follow 11th and 12th Avenues. From 24th to 14th Streets, buses would use West Street (West Side Highway) for both northBound and southBound services. From 14th to Spring Street the buses would use Washington and Greenwich Streets. The Buses would run every 30 minutes, from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week. The stops would be spaced every 3.5 blocks and provide easy transfer to other major crosstown buses or subway (M57, M31, M50, M42, M34, #7, M23, M14, M11, M8, M21). The route: • Ensure reliaBle service from the outset: changing 11th avenue from two-way to one-way between 57th and 45th Streets is a prerequisite to any reliaBle service: this avenue has only two moving lanes southbound between 57th and 45th Streets. These lanes are extremely congested during most of the day But particularly in the peak hours of the afternoon, as they provide queuing reservoir for the north tube of the Lincoln Tunnel. CB4 is on record for asking such a change, and DOT has already found it feasible in its Hell’s Kitchen traffic. We request that MTA works with DOT to convert this portion of 11th avenue to one way. Without such changes this new service will be as unreliaBle as the M11 where it is common for riders to experience 45 minutes delays. • Increase connectivity and ridership: Expanding the end loops to connect to the suBway will significantly increase the attractiveness of the service: the northern loop is only three blocks west of Columbus circle. Connecting with the suBway lines would Be extremely beneficial and make this route much more attractive. We have heard of many residents who clamor for such a service. This would also alleviate many trips and serious congestion at 58th Street, where private mini Buses, Bring commuters every ten minutes from the west to the subway stop. The stops • Ensure minimal comfort and safety: Bus shelters are critical: Because of the long wait between buses and the windy conditions on 11th and 12th Avenue, it is critical that bus shelters be installed at all bus stops in CB4. We also request that single phone Booths equipped with Wi-Fi and phone charging capability be installed adjacent to these bus stops to provide safety and the opportunity to productively use the wait time. (Such installations could be relocated from 9th Avenue). • Ensure service to main generators and destinations: We recommend that Beyond the main connections mentioned aBove, the following additional bus stops be provided: West 59th Street West 55th Street serving the Cove and Terminal 5 West 45th Street serving the Intrepid, and Pasha West 39th Street serving New Jersey ferries West 30th Street serving the High Line and Hudson Yards West 20th Street where there is a crossing on the highway West 17th Street to serve Pier 57. The Service • CB4 is disappointed that the service will Be limited to every 30 minutes. Such a sparse schedule will severely limit usage, which will distort usage statistics and defeat the purpose. Without changing the overall number of Buses, we request that the service Be every 15 minutes in the a.m. and p.m. peak hours and less frequent in between. • We also recommend that the service Be extended to 1 a.m. in the morning since most cultural events on the piers do last until such hours. • Further, we request that all buses hybrid-electric or CNG (compressed natural gas) vehicles with a lower floor. CB4 appreciates all the constraints the MTA is operating under and is delighted to have been selected for one of the very few new routes in the city. Our comments aim at improving ridership and make this line as successful as possiBle. CC. DOT Cc CB2 .

  • October 5, 2016 Veronique Hakim President, New York City Transit
    UNITED STATES HOUSE THE NEW YORK THE NEW YORK THE COUNCIL OF THE OF REPRESENTATIVES STATE SENATE STATE ASSEMBLY CITY OF NEW YORK October 5, 2016 Veronique Hakim President, New York City Transit Metropolitan Transportation Authority 2 Broadway New York, NY 1004 Dear President Hakim, Please restore the M15 Select Bus Service at 72nd Street. The M15 Limited stopped at 72nd Street until it was phased out in favor of M15 Select Bus Service. With high bus-dependent populations, infrequent local service, crosstown bus service, hospitals, community support and opening of the Second Avenue Subway with a station at 72nd Street, now is the perfect opportunity to increase ridership by restoring M15 Select Bus Service at 72nd Street. 72nd Street Only Location Omitted from Select Bus Service When Select Bus Service was introduced to First and Second Avenues on the M15 route, Select Bus Stations replaced Limited Service stops in every location above Houston Street other than East 72nd Street. Since October 2010, residents living in the East 72nd Street area, for example at 73rd off York Avenue, now must choose between walking three avenues and six blocks, more than half a mile, to a Select Bus Service bus station at 67th or 79th Streets and Second Avenue, versus half that distance to 72nd Street. Walking more than half a mile in both directions is simply too far for many residents. High Concentration of Seniors and Children Need Select Bus Service at 72nd Street The neighborhood that would be served by a Select Bus Service station at 72nd Street includes Census Tracts in Manhattan number 124, 126, 132, and 134 spanning from 69th to 79th between 3rd Avenue and the East River with a population of 44,756, one of the highest near any Select Bus station: 8,679 or 32.7% of households include children (under 18) or seniors (65 and over) who may rely on bus service due to age: o 3,326 or 12.5% of households have children under 18 years-old.

  • Improving Bus Service in New York a Thesis Presented to The
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Columbia University Academic Commons Improving Bus Service in New York A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Architecture and Planning COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY In Partial Fulfillment Of the requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Urban Planning By Charles Romanow May 2018 Abstract New York City’s transportation system is in a state of disarray. City street are clogged with taxi’s and for-hire vehicles, subway platforms are packed with straphangers waiting for delayed trains and buses barely travel faster than pedestrians. The bureaucracy of City and State government in the region causes piecemeal improvements which do not keep up with the state of disrepair. Bus service is particularly poor, moving at rates incomparable with the rest of the country. New York has recently made successful efforts at improving bus speeds, but only so much can be done amidst a city of gridlock. Bus systems around the world faced similar challenges and successfully implemented improvements. A toolbox of near-immediate and long- term options are at New York’s disposal dealing directly with bus service as well indirect causes of poor bus service. The failing subway system has prompted public discussion concerning bus service. A significant cause of poor service in New York is congestion. A number of measures are capable of improving congestion and consequently, bus service. Due to the city’s limited capacity at implementing short-term solutions, the most highly problematic routes should receive priority. Routes with slow speeds, high rates of bunching and high ridership are concentrated in Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn which also cater to the most subway riders.

  • Jay Walder Chairman Metropolitan Transportation Authority 347 Madison Avenue New York, N.Y
    CITY OF NEW YORK MANHATTAN COMMUNITY BOARD FOUR 330 West 42nd Street, 26th floor New York, New York 10036 tel: 212-736-4536 fax: 212-947-9512 www.nyc.gov/mcb4 JOHN WEIS Chair ROBERT J. BENFATTO, JR., ESQ. District Manager Jay Walder Chairman Metropolitan Transportation Authority 347 Madison Avenue New York, N.Y. 10017 Dear Mr. Walder Manhattan Community Board #4 is concerned about the subway and bus service reductions proposed by the Metropolitan Transit Authority. We understand that these cuts are required by reduced state and other revenue in FY2010 and FY2011 and the resulting projected budget deficits. We reiterate our long- standing request that state and city officials work together to find additional revenue streams for the MTA. We appreciate that the MTA used common sense standards that took into account current usage and availability of other mass transit services in making the difficult decisions on service reductions. We thus feel that, with a couple of exceptions noted below, the proposed cuts that affect Community Board 4 (listed on the attached sheet), while hurtful, are acceptable given the current fiscal environment. First and foremost, we join with most of our elected officials in condemning the proposed elimination of free student fare cards. With over 2/3rds of New York’s K-12 students coming from households earning less than $28,000/year, this is clearly a regressive policy that will not only impact the transit system, but the educational system. Secondly we are concerned that the elimination of the both the M50 and M66 1am to 5am service combined with the proposed elimination of the M104 east-west route and the M57 already having no service at those times leave limited cross-town bus options in the midtown area.
